I believe after a certain year, they started integrating the coolant temperature sensor (the one in the thermostat housing) and the sending unit. My 96 also has the sending unit at the back driver side of the block but I believe post 96, they started using a single sensor, which is in the thermostat housing, and it sends the temperature to both the gauge and the ECU. I could be wrong though.
